Question: Is there Zakat on personal cars?
Answer: “There is no Zakat on them. Everything a person uses for himself, besides gold and silver, there is no Zakat on it. Whether it be a car, a camel, a tractor, or other than that. This is due to the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ):
لَيْسَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ فِي عَبْدِهِ وَلاَ فِي فَرَسِهِ صَدَقَةٌ
There is no charity (Zakat) due from a Muslim for his servant and horse [Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood no. 1595]”
[Majmoo’ Fataawa (5/226)]
